Public International Law

The flow of global trade and investment is in many respects a product of significant expansion of treaties on a variety of subjects. These treaties provide the legal infrastructure on which global business is based. Public international law has become a key feature of today's world, not only for sovereign states and intergovernmental organizations but also for multinational corporations and individuals.

Water rights

Investment treaties.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom retains a special place in the world’s economy. It is an important international trading partner for many countries, and London is arguably the world’s largest financial center. While the economic downturn affected all the global economies to a varying degree, the UK has shown a steady improvement with falling unemployment and slow but steady growth.

Risk factors remain, but for many investors the UK presents a safe haven. And, while part of Europe, the retention of the British pound has protected the UK from some of the major issues facing the Eurozone. At the same time, the UK is one of the United States’ largest trading partners as well as the Eurozone’s single largest trading partner. With an innovative attitude towards business, many UK companies are exploring opportunities, and historic ties, with emerging economies–including those with the shared values of the Commonwealth.

With a heritage dating back to the late 18th century, Dentons can work with you throughout the domestic UK and international markets. Let us help you drive your potential across the country and across sectors including banking, investment, real estate, manufacturing and international trade.

Look to our lawyers in the UK for effective solutions in areas that include:
